Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen's_Guide:
The Queen's Guide award is the highest attainable award for members of Girlguiding. Although originally awarded to Guides, it is now only attainable by members of the Senior Section (including Rangers, Young Leaders and Leaders) aged between 16–30. It is a challenging programme comparable to the King's Scout and higher than Gold Duke of Edinburgh's Award. In the 60 years between the awards creation in 1946, and 2006, 20,000 young women had gained the award.
